Do you want to know why the NPC meme hits them so hard?
Leftism in general relies explicitly on the notion that their ideas of "progress" and "reason" contrast with a dumb right wing populace which is told what to think. The liberal envisions the old backwards farmer in Idaho as representing right wing beliefs, and they believe they're the ones who have intelligence and agency because they believe they've educated themselves enough to not just be told what to think as ironic as that is.
This is why the liberal can't comprehend the increasing amount of young people who resist them, especially when they're educated on their bullshit and destroy their beliefs in front of them. Yes, those same beliefs they thought they were special for cultivating in contrast to their image of the old uneducated rural conservative. In function, their beliefs are just an expression of hipsterdom in the modern world that wanks over self consciousness and image. Which is why getting through to them that their beliefs and behavior are actually extremely common and enforced on them is a death nail for their insecurities. The liberal hipster values above all else their special independence, and liberalism no longer provides that and they're learning it slowly(see the lefties spiraling off into increasingly obscure movements or walking away from politics altogether).
They are literally told that having certain beliefs means that you are an independent minded conscious person who is more aware.
The irony is quite incredible. Surely you cannot be aware if you do not see the irony in these beliefs. Fine, some people may wake up for real if they have this all clearly laid out but many more will just deny deny deny and say that you are the brain dead one for not believing the politically correct fiction.
I think you nailed it here, OP. But I think we can dive deeper.

They know the symptoms of a closed mind(NPC) but since they actually do not have a capacity to introspect (since they are NPCs) and examine their own arguments, they might never detect it within themselves.

yep, NPC alright... You never really notice this shit until one confronts you over an MSpaint image that sets them off.
Anybody else think it's fucking hilarious that they called us russian bots for the past 2 years with no effect.... But we call them NPC's for a few days and they flip the fuck out? I mean, that should really say something. More leftist projection? Is that where the "russian bot" shit came from? Did one NPC recognize that they were an NPC, and as NPC's tend to do, try to project this at their perceived enemy?
Camden Collins
NPC meme hits them so hard because they relate to it. period. they are NPCs. they think what they are told to think. that's why they are closed minded people in general. you literally couldn't be here posting regularly if you were person like that. like, there's no way you could hear reasonable arguments against homosexuality, anti-racism, and stuff like that through mainstream channels. you have to be open minded to develop these views. and don't buy their shit about dehumanization. they dehumanize us all the time (evil hateful alt-right trolls, white supremacist neo-nazi russian bots, etc.)

Well at the end of the day no one really believes they are the NPC. Although some clearly are. So it appeals to everyone because they think the NPC is about someone else. Maybe someone they disagree with or don't like.
But even though some people have false beliefs about who is, and who isn't, an NPC, we can see it quite easily in some cases. Watch the finance shows where people call in to talk about how to solve their six-figure credit card debt. Or a quarter million in car loans. Or 3 bachelor's degrees in nonsense and now they want to get a job in an unrelated field at 25k a year and they're not sure how they can pay off their student loans. There's no way to be that oblivious for that long and still be a person on the inside. Only the shell of a person, acting out what they perceive to be acceptable in the given moment.

True and calling them a NPC means they now need to prove they aren't. This means going off script and they bug out.
They go to anger because they don't know how to prove that they are not an NPC and then they revert to fake apathy like this when they fail to see exactly how they are an NPC. "If I don't care then it is not true. It's just a stupid meme."
Hunter Turner
No they're definitely born, Herschel.
Being an NPC is an incurable genetic condition. They are humanoid animals operating on pure instinct (i.e. emotion).
I think I might have been an NPC until I was around 16 or 17 years old. My first girlfriend dumped me and I got extremely angry at her and myself and I spent the next two years thinking about the relationship... analyzing it. What did I do wrong? What did she do wrong? Why did we behave the way we did. I really figured out some not so great things about myself and some not so great things about her that I had previously thought of as 'perfect' because that was what I was supposed to think about women in general but especially the ones I date. Before that, my life seemed kind of hazy and I in retrospect couldn't detect much thinking in the way I navigated through life.

Leftists, being completely dishonest, will say ANYTHING if they think it will get them what they want.
They have run the gamut of attacks to shut down the NPC meme. "Its, like, totally lame" is a last resort for them.
Its one of the spiciest memes available. Even Jews don't get this upset about the happy merchant.
Eli Young
Hoy, there... Quite the pretty little item you have there, friend.
Someone who can be redpilled was never an NPC. They are players whose adventure didn't start yet.
An NPC is like part of the matrix. You can feed them all the redpills you want, they can't wake up. There's no human connected to them.
Sebastian Jenkins
close nailed it. i typed up something a bit ago when i was thinking about it. might as well drop it here.
Essence of the NPC (1/4) The NPC meme is so effective because it strikes at a key aspect of normal human functioning that these people apparently lack: pattern recognition. See pic related. That is the last chapter of book 2 of Aristotle's Posterior Analytics. The short and sweet version is that all knowledge must be derived from sense perception. We aren't born with knowledge and so perception and induction are how we formulate the basic principles of science/reality/ourselves. The process involves extracting the universal attribute out of a series of experiences or memories and the most universal attributes are extracted first. "Wit" describes the speed at which someone can grasp the universal. Aristotle compares the process to an army that has been routed, but one soldier turns to make a stand and then another and another until the formation has been restored. This formation is a rational, logical set of conclusions. However, this is where the problem arises.
>And this at least is an obvious characteristic of all animals, for they possess a congenital discriminative capacity which is called sense-perception. But though sense-perception is innate in all animals, in some the sense-impression comes to persist, in others it does not. So animals in which this persistence does not come to be have either no knowledge at all outside the act of perceiving, or no knowledge of objects of which no impression persists; animals in which it does come into being have perception and can continue to retain the sense-impression in the soul: and when such persistence is frequently repeated a further distinction at once arises between those which out of the persistence of such sense-impressions develop a power of systematizing them and those which do not.
(2/4) Humans fall into this latter category of animals that can retain sense perception and further systematize them (i.e. learn). It is the ability to discern the abstract universal truth from a given set of experiences, to generalize, to discriminate, if you will. The starting point of knowledge is noticing patterns and differences. But the NPC has lost this capacity, either willfully or from a life of training. Seeing patterns and generalizing now has all sorts of labels ending in -phobia and -ism. Having "a discriminating mind" used to be a good thing. Being called a "discriminating shopper" was a compliment.
>but we only mean discrimination based on sex, race, national origin, skin color, gender orientation, age, job occupation, etc. The list continues to grow and the definition of many of these things is becoming obscured. The process of discrimination is so fundamental that it cannot be arbitrarily switched on and off. The only way to not be a racist, sexist, islamophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, anti-semitic shitlord is to kill the part of your brain that wants to discriminate. A full shutdown of your brain's difference engine is required to avoid "unacceptable" conclusions. To use the soldier analogy from earlier: instead of a rout, the NPC army has been ordered to retreat and any soldier that turns around to make a stand is shot on the assumption that he's a traitor.
It leaves the NPC incapable of learning or reaching logical conclusions. They can't grasp the basic fundamental truths of the world around them, so any reasoning done will be flawed. However, the brain doesn't like being left in this eternal state of logical limbo. It wants to order the world around itself. It wants to put things into boxes and label them, but it is being specifically trained not to do this, leading to a great deal of discomfort. It leaves the brain craving a structure to judge the world with. The solution? This structure is provided to them. They are programmed by authority figures and media with the fundamental logic they use to view the world. Their many contradictory positions are because their viewpoint is contrived, not derived. And it is also why their positions can seemingly 180 multiple times in a couple weeks.
Take for example the Pakistani rape gangs in the UK or rape statistics in the US or gun violence in the US. A rational, fully functioning mind would see the tenth report in a week about a new rape gang run by an Ahmed or a Mohammad and he'd extract that one particular type of man was committing these crimes disproportionately. But the NPC brain sees these and only extracts up to the limit it is allowed and through the filter it has been given. The NPC will see that men are raping children in the UK, ergo toxic masculinity is the problem. Only the partial universal is extracted so the conclusion is fundamentally flawed.
One of the most glaring particular instances of this happened recently with Molly Tibbets, the girl in Iowa murdered by an illegal. (You could also think of the South African couple in a similar situation.) What kind of lunacy would cause a father to go out and advocate for the very people that just murdered his daughter? The kind of person that can't learn. We identify threats by abstracting present and past injuries into the future to prevent them.
I think you need to re-read my post without your anger. I'm not saying that I was of one nature but now I am of another. I think I am and was predisposed toward incurable curiosity and a desire to look beyond what the current culture tells us. I certainly behaved like an NPC in my beliefs and I didn't put much thought into my beliefs. I spent my time thinking about music and I never really thought politics was interesting and I never worried about the way I acted before my break-up.
Carson Rivera
4/4 If you can't learn from your experiences you will never accurately identify threats. You'll see the Player Character saving his game and applying all of his buffs, but until he hacks you to bits, you'll keep pathing. To paraphrase Yuri Bezmenov, their brains are so devasted and trained that they won't see the truth even if it is right in front of their eyes until they are in harm’s way.
This is why the NPC meme is so fitting. They lack a quality that lies at the foundation of the human experience. It's why they seem so devoid of a soul. It's why you feel like you have the same interactions with dozens of different people. They are all running the same program and they will continue to run this until a new program has been entered by Rachel Madow or Facebook. Nothing you say or do will change the program. Nothing they see or experience in real life (from a bomb at an Ariana Grande concert to 10 vans of peace) will change the program.
How then do we change these creatures from NPCs to people? The answer is something we've always known. It's the redpill. It's why the redpill is irreversible. Going back to the army analogy, it's convincing the army in the NPC's head to not shoot that one soldier that turns around. It only takes one. Because as soon as he's allowed to live, as soon as fundamental reality is no longer an enemy, the process has begun. By its sheer existence the single soldier will draw others, and bugs in their code will be made apparent. The brain will take over and begin to self-repair. Remember that next time you talk to an NPC. The goal isn't to have them yelling "GAS THE KIKES, RACE WAR NOW!" The goal is to break the code just a little bit. The rest is inevitable.
P.S. This is also why the left can't meme. They can't imagine others being able to understand something without explicit explanation. Lefty memes have walls of text worse than Ben Garrison cartoons because they can't distill abstract concepts from things.

This seems right. Once again The Matrix lends us its wisdom.
It's the reverse of why the alt-right is so appealing to people. The alt-right presents itself as a community of people willing to have difficult discussions about politics and philosophy and address all sorts of topics that are beyond the pale of normal conversations. It's a group unrestricted by ethics and instead seeking the truth, though they might make some mistakes on the way that's the goal. NPCs on the other hand will risk nothing and accept whatever they are told as true without scrutiny or scepticism. Better not to stir the pot, just act like everyone else does, who cares about the truth?

I had some Antifa on the YouTube comments tell me that I only voted for Trump because Fox News is a CIA brainwashing operation and I had been brainwashed by the subtle subliminal messages in their broadcasts. When I told him that I didn't watch Fox News and haven't owned a TV for the last 15 years, he told me that my claim was false and I had been brainwashed to forget that I had ever watched Fox News. LOL. These clowns have an answer for everything.

>Implying Jow Forums is rational
Jesus FUCKING Christ get off your horse back, bucko.
Please stop jerking yourself, Jow Forums is the biggest postmodernist board out there - modernism is characterized by the emergence of a rational individual, who's life quest is to seek the empirical truth.
this board can be characterized as the complete opposite - degenerates, stormcucks, conspiriologists, disgruntled beta men searching for a fuhrer, wishing for a race war - the rational individual doesn't exist on Jow Forums , and if he does, and tries to challenge the post-factual bullshit of outdated racialist pseudo-science or holocaust denial, he is shut down by other deranged individuals who prefer howl together like dogs in their bubble of irrational hatred. In other words your average Jow Forums user is symptomatic of the post-modern condition, as someone who grew up spoiled by a culture of flashy consumerism he's become an anti-intellectual that demands even reality to be tailored and served to him as "alternative facts" he can easily consume and does not challenge his world view. As long these manufactured lies make him sleep at night the factual truth does not matter to him- I mean, how fucking retarded do you need to be to unironically believe insipid shit like "söy turns men into feminists"? This board is the epitome of "feelz over realz", the far-right version of "truth is subjective", because everything that contradicts their worldview is a jewish plot.

It's almost if different people have different opinions of weather or not the NPC meme is political or not. Soon you will dismiss everything about the topic just because one person strayed off the hive mind and convince yourself everyone was wrong.

I like the idea that there are a finite number of souls and they all ended up on an anonymous message board for racist anime fans.
THe whole premise of "Hitler was a reaction against the communist threat" is wrong. THe national socialists claimed they were defending "european civilization" against "communist barbarism" -- when they invaded Poland they banned the Polish language, this wasn't just some occupation for military-strategist sake against the Soviet Union, they pursued an active policy of eradication and destruction of Polish life and culture.
And I ask you this, fucking kraut faggot; How can anyone in their right mind defend this and not call it for what it was; barbarism.
